AmberPoint, the industry's leading provider of SOA runtime governance software, announced today that Yphise, a leading European independent analyst group, ranked AmberPoint SOA Management System the best overall "Service Monitoring and Management (SMM)" solution.
ebizQ received the following:
Yphise conducted a hands-on review of runtime SOA governance solutions from AmberPoint, Actional, SOA Software and TIBCO to determine which provides the best visibility and control to ensure availability, performance and security of running services. Yphise is the latest analyst firm to highlight AmberPoint’s leadership. In recent reports on SOA governance, both Forrester Research and Gartner ranked AmberPoint as a leader.
Based on an ISO 9001:2000-certified assessment, Yphise certified AmberPoint SOA Management System as the best-ranked software product in comparison with the competition for Service Monitoring and Management. It attests that AmberPoint has the strengths that represent a valuable investment according to expected benefits by large companies.
"AmberPoint offers the best solution for service monitoring and management," said Aurélie Chandèze, Senior Analyst, Yphise. "It has the best coverage of our list of requirements and proved to be very strong in a number of areas. AmberPoint has powerful functionality for policy provisioning and enforcement. It also offers the best set of monitoring capabilities, with out-of-the-box dashboards dedicated to performance and exception management. It provides advanced tools for root cause analysis and stands out for its runtime discovery capabilities. The other vendors in this category did not match AmberPoint's breadth of capabilities."
AmberPoint SOA Management System ranked highest across all of the selected parameters in Yphise's review of SMM solutions. To come up with its rankings, the firm assessed four areas of service monitoring and management and aggregated more than 135 functional or technical control items. They evaluated the capacity of the products to provide an adequate return on investment (ROI) now and for preparedness to provide future ROI.
Highlights of the ISO 9001:2000-Certified Assessment:
"We're pleased to see a respected third party like Yphise compare our solutions directly against competitors and come to the same conclusion that our customers and partners have," said Ed Horst, vice president of marketing, AmberPoint. "It's testament to AmberPoint's commitment to innovation that we continue to lead the market in product performance."
